Statebourne Biorack 5400 Nitrogen vessel

• Long-term cryogenic storage of biological samples such as cells, tissues, and DNA in research laboratories.
• Preservation of pharmaceutical compounds and active ingredients requiring ultra-low temperatures.
• Biobanking operations for the secure storage of patient samples and genetic material.
• Use in IVF clinics and fertility centres for storing gametes and embryos.
• Cryopreservation in veterinary science for animal genetic material.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, liquid nitrogen capacities commonly range from 50 to 100 litres, supporting several thousand cryovials.

Temperature range

Units of this type typically maintain vapour phase temperatures below -190°C.

Refill interval

Advanced insulation commonly allows for liquid nitrogen refill intervals of up to 6 months, depending on usage and ambient conditions.

Footprint

Cryogenic vessels in this category typically have a compact footprint, suitable for laboratory environments.

Material

These vessels are commonly constructed from high-grade stainless steel for durability and thermal performance.

Power supply

While the vessel itself is passive, monitoring systems commonly require a standard UK single-phase electrical supply (e.g., 230V, 50Hz).

Security features

Units often feature lockable lids and can be integrated with remote monitoring systems for enhanced sample security.
